Royal

Britain's Princess Anne has praised scientists working to prevent livestock disease.
The Princess Royal, a keen animal lover and patron of many farming organisations, attended the Moredun Research Institute near Edinburgh, Scotland, last week for a conference about the prevention and control of disease in livestock.
Anne - who is Patron of the Moredun Foundation, a charity that works for high standards in animal health and welfare - joined 100 delegates from the agricultural, veterinary and research sectors at the special event, according to Scotland Food & Drink.
Princess Anne praised Moredun's scientists for their work during her speech, saying: "Education, communication and learning from each other is vital to enable the livestock industry across the world to become more resilient and adaptive to the challenges we currently face and will no doubt face in the future
"Due to the changing climate, competing pressures for land use and a growing global population, the production of safe, nutritious and sustainable food supplies is really important. Moredun's research to improve the health and welfare of livestock is as relevant today as it ever was."
Anne also visited the University of Edinburgh to open the Shirley Laboratories at the Hugh Robson Link Building during her visit to Scotland.

Britain's Zara Phillips wants two children.
The 32-year-old royal had her first child, Mia, on January 17 - with husband Mike Tindall - and although she isn't ready for another tiny tot just yet, the blonde beauty is hoping to give her daughter a sibling in the future.
Quizzed on whether she wouldn't discount doing it all again, the young royal told UK's HELLO! magazine: "I probably would right at this minute, but we do want two children."
Mike - who married 15th in the line of succession in 2011 - recalled the day Mia was born and admits they called Queen Elizabeth shortly after the arrival of their bundle of joy.
He said: "As soon as we had Mia I sent a text to all the family. Zara is very close to her grandmother, so of course she made a phone call once we got back home."
However, they kept Mia's name a secret for a couple of days until they'd worked out whether the moniker "suited" her.
He added: "We didn't tell anyone for a few days because we had to know the baby first and see if the name suited her. We'd each made a short list from the baby book and our choices pretty much matched."

Britain's Zara Phillips has already got two ponies lined up for her baby daughter.
The Olympic eventing medallist and her husband Mike Tindall's firstborn Mia Grace might only be one month old, but she is expected to follow in her mother's footsteps by riding her cousins' Shetland ponies as soon as she is old enough.
Asked whether Mia was going to be as outdoorsy as Zara, who started riding aged two, the royal told Britain's HELLO! magazine: "She has her first pair of wellies and her first pair of trainers ... We were outside a lot as children and had ponies. And so Mia will be - definitely.
"I bought a Shetland pony for my niece, Savannah, to ride, and then I was offered a second one so I bought him too as Isla was coming along so quickly. Mia will inherit them once her cousins get too big... But I've told my brother Pete that I've now done my bit. It's his job to buy the next size ponies."
Mia - who is Queen Elizabeth's fourth great grandchild and 16th in line to the throne - was born at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital in South West England last month, weighing a healthy 7lb 12oz.
Zara enthused: "The birth itself was definitely an experience, though perhaps not altogether euphoric while it was happening. Afterwards you are pretty amazed at what you've created. I still keep looking at Mia and thinking, 'Oh! We made that.'
Mike added: "The birth was the best day of my life so far."

Britain's Queen Elizabeth has been giving Duchess Catherine advice about her royal visit to Australia and New Zealand.
The monarch has reportedly taken the 32-year-old duchess "under her wing" in order to prepare her for the historic visit to the Commonwealth countries in April.
A palace source told the Sunday Express newspaper: "The Queen regards Catherine as the perfect partner for William and she thinks they are a great team. She doesn't want to see a repeat of Charles and Diana when they toured Australia and the crowds were only interested in meeting Diana.
"Most importantly, the Queen can pass on her knowledge of the countries, their cultures, histories and the dos and don'ts of what to say and not say."
Aside from sharing her pearls of wisdom, the 87-year-old ruler is said to have given Catherine - who has seven-month-old son Prince George with Prince William - access to her royal jewellery box for the three-week trip.
This comes after the Queen loaned her the Nizam of Hyderabad diamond necklace, which was a wedding gift in 1947, for her appearance at the National Portrait Gallery earlier this month.
Elizabeth is also said to have advised the mother-of-one to have small weights sewn into her dress hems to prevent future "Marilyn Monroe" moments in strong winds.

Britain's Prince Harry regrets not being able to try out for the SAS.
The 29-year-old royal has reportedly told friends he would "have loved to have had a crack at SAS selection", but knew his dream job serving with the Special Air Service forces would never work out due to his status.
According to the Daily Mirror newspaper, Harry told one pal: "Unfortunately for me that was never going to happen - my face is just too well known."
The redhead has been fascinated by the SAS since visiting the regiment as a child with his late mother Princess Diana, and still makes regular trips to their base in Hereford.
Harry stepped down from his role as an Apache helicopter pilot in January after completing his duties with the Britain's Army Air Corps, in order to take up a Staff Officer role in London.
Despite describing the SAS as his "dream job", one senior Army officer told the paper it was unlikely to have worked out for the prince.
He said: "The reality is that if Harry joined the SAS he would never be able to take part in military operations.
"He is too well known. It would be a case that if Harry appeared, whose face has global recognition, you would know the SAS were about. [But] Harry has all the attributes to serve in the SAS."

Britain's Queen Elizabeth is living in the most polluted street in the UK.
According to new figures, Grosvenor Place, which sits behind the 87-year-old monarch's home, Buckingham Palace, is surrounded by some of the most polluted roads in Britain.
They have the highest levels of nitrogen dioxide, a toxic gas which comes mostly from traffic fumes, and the air outside the palace was found to be almost four times the European legal limit.
Alan Andrews, a lawyer with the environmental group Client Earth, told The Sunday Times newspaper: "Her Majesty came to the throne in the same year as London was engulfed by the great smog [1952], 60 years later air pollution is still killing thousands of her subjects each year."
The figures were released by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) and show some of London's top attractions are also affected by some of the country's most polluted roads, including areas near Madame Tussauds.
Simon Birkett, director of Clean Air in London, said: "The thought that hundreds of thousands or millions of tourists and Londoners in a year may be exposed to air pollution this high is deeply troubling."
A spokesperson for Boris Johnson, the mayor of London, claims since his election in 2008, the amount of people living in areas where nitrogen dioxide levels are above legal limits has halved.

Cressida Bonas doesn't want to look like she gets her hair done professionally.
The blonde beauty - who is dating Britain's Prince Harry - is a regular at RealHair salon on Cale Street in London's Chelsea and although she pays $250 for a quick cut and blow dry, she would rather go for a low-key look.
A source told vanityfair.com: "When Cressida comes in she says 'I want it blown out, but I don't want it to look like I got it done.'"
Cressida is "pretty laid back" about her style and prefers to embrace a casual look.
A source added: "Cressida is all about low maintenance and looking stylish with minimal effort.
"She likes to be low-key and she is pretty laid back when it comes to her appearance. Kate is meticulous about her hair and makeup, but Cressida just sticks on a beanie hat and maybe a bit of lip balm."
Her relationship with Harry seems to be going well since the young royal is believed to have given her free-rein of Buckingham Palace by allowing her to enter the palace grounds without being searched.
A source previously said: "Cressida has been staying with Harry pretty much every night for the last few weeks. So Harry felt it was sensible that she got the security clearance to come and go as she pleases, instead of always having to enter with him.
"She's now on first name terms with all the security guards, and uses all three entrances to the palace."

Princess Madeleine of Sweden has given birth to a girl.
The 31-year-old royal and her husband Christopher O'Neill - whom she married last year - welcomed their first child into the world yesterday evening (20.02.14) in New York City.
Madeleine - who is fifth-in-line to the throne of Sweden - and her baby are said to be "in good health" following the birth.
Royal spokesman Svante Lindqvist announced the news last night: "The Office of the Marshal of the Realm is delighted to announce that H.R.H. Princess Madeleine gave birth to a daughter on February 20, 2014 at 10.41 pm local time New York."
The couple reside in New York - where Madeleine works for the World Childhood Foundation, a non-profit group founded by her mother, Queen Silvia - but it is expected they will return to Sweden.
Madeleine fell pregnant unexpectedly but she admitted at the time she was glad it happened that way.
She said: "It's better that way, rather than to plan everything in advance and find that nothing happens."
The princess previously admitted she and Christopher were "excited" for the birth and had been reading the famous baby book 'What To Expect When You Are Expecting' in preparation for their new arrival.

Britain's Duchess Catherine was spotted picking up dog poo.
The 32-year-old royal was forced to pick up her canine Lupo's toilet as she took him for a walk around Kensington Gardens in London with her eight-month-old son Prince George.
The duchess was kitted out in her workout gear - including Lycra trousers and a long-sleeved top - as the trio enjoyed their early morning stroll.
The duke and duchess - who got married in 2011 - are in love with their pup, but it has been reportedly other members of the royal family aren't so keen on their four-legged friend.
The fluffy pet was reportedly not invited to the Queen's Sandringham estate in Norfolk over the Christmas period after previously fighting with her precious corgis and he was forced to stay with Catherine's parents Carole and Michael Middleton.
A source said previously: "The Queen made it clear that Lupo was not on the guest list. The Duchess is especially fond of the puppy and was sad that he could not accompany them. He had to sit it out at her parents' home in Berkshire."
